The Broncos' 31-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts was not perfect by any means, but plenty went right against a team that is looking for its 12th season of 10 or more wins in the last 13 years.

The one-running back, two-tight end alignment is often called "12" personnel, and was effectively the Broncos' base offensive package Sunday, as they used it for 34 plays, compared with 30 that were run in last year's base set, "11" personnel (one running back, one tight end, three wide receivers). This was a point of emphasis during organized team activities and training camp.
This was effectively their base offensive package Sunday. The Broncos ran 34 plays with two tight ends and two wide receivers. With this packaging, they averaged more yards per play (6.0) than they did in the three-wide set (5.5), and more per pass (8.5 to 6.1). They averaged more per rush in three-wide (4.1) than with two tight ends (3.8), but also did not run as frequently in that package; the Broncos had 18 carries for 68 yards with two tight ends, and nine carries for 37 yards with one.
